PFS tables at Gen Con


Pathfinder Society

Dark Archive

With the con getting closer, my character is not going to hit the level 3 mark I was shooting for. He will only be level 2 by the time we get there. I am scheduled for 3 PFS events and now am getting worried I may not be able to find a group with characters close in level. Everyone else I've talked to has mid level characters, very few seem to have 1st and 2nd level. I know the sub-tiers are there to make it easier to make a table, I'm just worried about how many people will actually have characters level 1-3. And how many of those will actually be in the same slots as me. Anyone who has played at large conventions before, how difficult was it for you to find the right level table?

I can guarantee you won't have any trouble finding a level-appropriate table. If you do, track me down and I'll buy you a Coke.

Yo my prime is 8th lvl but my backup Ketswao is a 3rd Summoner. Now 2/3rds of my rounds are my high lvl but I am scheduled for 3 maybe 4 tier appropriate rounds for low play. Have faith ;-)

It wasn't a problem last year. Yes there were more mid-level players, but we never had trouble making a table.

I personally am bringing along both my (should be at that point) 6th level Wizard and 2nd level Cavalier. One of my scheduled slots is at a 5-9 adventure, so I'll be playing the Wizard through on that one, but the other two 1-7 adventures are completely up in the air with a strong leaning towards playing the lower-level character.

Have hope. It won't be that bad.

Grand Lodge 3/5

Many people have had to make 2nd characters and find themselve in the 3rd to 4th range so, I'm not sure that you are in that bad of a spot. Not to mention that there should be a few GMs out there with GM reward characters that will be in that range as well. (I have a 4th Level character myself) I think we will be able to accomidate you well at Gen Con. If for nothing else, if you end up in table with some people playing pregens that are the right level.

GenCon is the Convention Granddaddy, so we shouldn't have any issues.

Thnaks everyone. That makes me feel a little better about it. Perhaps I'll get to game with some of you at the con.

And some people may have to replace characters who get TPK'd in Frost adventures ;)


What sucks is that I've never TPKed anyone with my own adventures. :-(

As for level 1s--75% of the Society play will be levels 1-3. No worries there. :-)
